Box swap day. Steady 45mins and subframe is ready to drop, quick bit of dinner and scan a meg250 with clip then back on with it. Hopefully be running and driving with new gearbox, new clutch & pms shifter in tomorrow ?
I wouldnt put atf in a road car however i ran it for at least 5 years in a jb3 no issues and that was with 235hp/220ft/lb and many trackdays. One of my friends ran a jc5 with a quaife lsd fitted - 336hp and that was tracked regular without issue on dextron II. Maybe mechanical sympathy on both...
Its very basic just 2 wires straight from the interior clock to the mirror..sensor might be broken or disconnected if no reading. I retrofitted the temp sensor in my dci and my kangoo.
I have also used dextron II in my Extra van with success, its on jb3 but not a million miles away from jc5. After blowing up a load of gearboxes was recommended it by a drag racer apparantly a lot of the honda lads use it.
Shifts were a lot better over 7k rpm when hot and no more damaged...

I have used total gear8 in my dci too dirt cheap from gsf seems decent its gl4 75/80.
In for replys. I gently agitated my recaros with a nail brush and slightly dampened the material, it made a difference but they are still no where near as very mucky so need to revisit.
Clip is great for the Renaults mate powerful bit of kit. Clone clip off ebay is quite reasonable to buy too?
No worries mate if you need any advice just give me a shout. Its all about sharing the knowledge - ive found loads of info on here its great ?
Need to get some more use out of it...
It will all be due to high ambient temps. Its been the hottest spell we have had in years. Intake temp was something daft like 60deg on idle on the rs monitor in the megane the other day and thats with ac on
I wont be doing it for a long time yet, just parts gathering at the mo. There is an option to build the newer shape kangoo with the turbo lump - clio197/200 front suspension - i believe it might go on without too much fuss which would probably be awesome if it worked out. Need to get my Extra...
I dont mind the orange either breaks up the white. I bought the clear bits but just could not be bothered to try them. Maybe in the future if i get really bored lol.
Haha im not that big at the mo after massive diet, 13st9 feel like a shadow of my former self?
Cheers mate just trying to get all the little bits right on this and hopefully will get a few trouble free trackdays out of it soon?
Are you going to Cs festival in August ? I can bring the laptop and clip with me to reconfig your setup to suit no bother. If not im sure we can sort something out?
Replace the battery in the fob and check the microswitch is still attatched to the circuit board regarding remote central locking.
All doors should lock off the interior button i would check fuses and then go onto wiring. If you have access to clip maybe scan and actuate the door locks to test.
Been looking into this myself. I believe you need the pin code to match the vin number associated with the uch to program the keys with clip. I also hear other programs will do it without too not sure if true or not ?
Nearly had the beans all over the table haha. I rarely go to a greasy spoon but this was awesome, massive plate of filth
I hope its of use to people in the future ?
Cheers mate, i have some clear side repeaters and some headlamps off the last of this shape kangoo with clear indicators...
Weekend update
Refitted later 172 ecu/uch and fired engine up from cold - idled normal and settled down to 800ish rpm idle when hot. I scanned it with clip and a load of old faults were stored relating to ct temp sensor etc assuming off the old car - cleared them and no furthur idle issues -...
Good to hear its sorted - nothing worse than unwanted lights on ! i knew it wouldnt be custom firmware for cup uch.
Do you know where the vin is stored ? my old ecu/uch pack said d4f instead of f4r and vin number of pretty much 12345. Fitted 2nd hand setup and still says the same ? is it the...
Got to the bottom of this in the end
